PRO DESIGN -

Funding

To expand our development capacities nationwide, PRO DESIGN has an aditional development department in Arnstadt (near Erfurt) in the middle of Germany. The new development department in Anrstandt was financially supported by the "Thüringer Aufbaubank".

In order to preserve our competitiveness and productivity, PRO DESIGN has invested in the job security and in the acquisition of new machines and equipments at the development center in Arnstadt. The investment has been funded by the Funding Programm Thueringen-Invest.

Research Projects

The essential objective of MANGO is to achieve extreme resource efficiency in future QoS-sensitive HPC through ambitious cross-boundary architecture exploration. Therefore PRO DESIGN supplies the project with own developped and produced proFPGA systems.

The aim of the CRIM-TRACK project is to demonstrate a working sensing device that can be developed into a portable, miniaturized, automated, rapid, low cost, highly sensitive, and simple “sniffer” and detection unit, based on a disposable micro-colorimetric chip. The unit can be used for identification of a wide variety of illegal drugs, drug precursors and home-made explosives. It will provide custom officers, police and other authorities with an effective tool to control trafficking of illegal drugs and drug precursors.

The PROPEDES project is based on a network of imaging surrounding sensors to create an anticipatory motor vehicle night-vision device to protect pedestrians. PRO DESIGN developped and produced a FPGA-based development platform with implemented and verified algorithms. In addition the company has developped an universal communications interface between developpment platform and host.

The project "INDOOR/Galileo" focuses on the positioning- and navigation-technologies for the professional area. The indoor-positioning takes place with high availability and accuracy(3D). PRO DESIGN created a verification concept and implemented a ASIC-Design on the verification platform. Finally the company has developped and produced application- and test-boards for pre- and post silicon ASIC verification.
